Chapter 134 Lin Xuan: "If the seven great spirits gather together, can they defeat the Black Fox King?" [Subscribe]
After explaining his situation to Abbot Sanzang, Lin Xuan did not disturb his master's rest and turned to leave the room.
As a result, after walking a few steps, I heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from outside the yard.
He was startled and felt a little strange.
It’s so late, who would come?
Lin Xuan couldn't help but release his divine sense to investigate, and suddenly, he was stunned where he was.
"It's actually Cao...Brother Cao?"
The person who came was Captain Cao from Kaifeng Prefecture!
Lin Xuan was quite surprised by his arrival:
"Why is Brother Cao coming to the White Horse Temple so late? Is he here to look for Xiaolong, or is he here to look for us to investigate the matter of Zheng Fangpei?"
Lin Xuan kept guessing in his mind.
The footsteps are getting closer.
After a while, Lin Xuan looked up.
Under the moonlight, Captain Cao, who looked exhausted from travel, was walking towards this courtyard under the guidance of a monk from the White Horse Temple.
"Brother Cao!"
Lin Xuan called out to him.
After he finished speaking, Captain Cao raised his eyes and saw a young man with clear eyebrows and a serious face looking at him with a puzzled expression.
I haven't seen Lin Xuan for a while.
At this moment, Lin Xuan gave him the feeling that he was calm and reserved, with a restrained edge.
He doesn't look like a martial artist.
But Captain Cao knew that Lin Xuan was a one-in-a-million martial arts genius.
His temperament has undergone such an obvious change now, which clearly shows that he has made great progress in his cultivation.
Most of them have already stepped into the realm of controlling Qi!
Moreover, Captain Cao vaguely felt a power in him that was even more powerful than Wang Daosen!
"I'm afraid this boy's strength is already above Wang Daosen. I underestimated Brother Lin at the beginning..."
Captain Cao said secretly.
Immediately, he smiled and greeted:
"Brother Lin, I haven't seen you for a few days. Brother Lin has become even stronger."
"It was just a coincidence."
Lin Xuan said calmly.
Then, he asked curiously:
"Brother Cao rushed to the White Horse Temple so late at night, I'm afraid you are not here to catch up with me?"
Captain Cao changed the subject and said solemnly:
"It's really not a reunion."
"I came here on the orders of the prefect to see Abbot Sanzang."
Actually, he was lucky. He arrived at the White Horse Temple and told the monk guarding the gate his purpose. The monk then told him that Abbot Sanzang and his party were currently in the temple.
This made Captain Cao feel relieved.
"Master hasn't rested yet, Brother Cao, come with me."
Although Lin Xuan didn't know why Captain Cao came to see Abbot Sanzang, the fact that he came here in a hurry showed that the situation was urgent.
He led Captain Cao back to the door of Abbot Sanzang.
Before he could knock, the door opened by itself.
It turned out that Abbot Sanzang was in the house. He had already heard the noise in the yard and knew that Captain Cao was looking for him.
After entering the room, Captain Cao looked at the Shaolin abbot who was sitting upright and hurried over to greet him:
"Greetings to Abbot Sanzang!"
Abbot Sanzang nodded slightly, glanced down, and motioned for him to sit down.
Everyone was familiar with each other, so Abbot Sanzang naturally asked directly:
"Captain Cao came to look for me in a hurry, but what big thing happened in Kaifeng Prefecture?"
In response, Captain Cao did not answer, but just looked around in embarrassment.
Abbot Sanzang understood, waved his sleeves, and closed the door.
Then he smiled and said:
"To Captain Cao, I am not considered an outsider, right?"
"Abbot Sanzang is joking. Brother Lin and I hit it off right away, so I'm naturally not a outsider." Captain Cao laughed dryly.
Seeing Captain Cao being so cautious, Lin Xuan suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Could it be that something big really happened in Kaifeng Prefecture?
After a while, Captain Cao organized his words and said to Abbot Sanzang:
"To be honest, the prefect sent me here because of the Crown Prince."
"A few days ago, the commander of the Imperial Guard, Wang Daosen, found the prefect and said that the prince returned home from Jiangnan, but his whereabouts were accidentally leaked by spies in the court and were known to the Black Fox Gang."
"Commander Wang is worried that the Black Fox Gang will harm the prince, so he would like to ask Abbot Sanzang to escort the prince back to the capital."
Upon hearing this, Abbot Sanzang was also suddenly shocked.
Unexpectedly, the Black Fox Gang became even crazier and even targeted the prince.
The crown prince is the foundation of a country.
Abbot Sanzang naturally understood this principle.
Since he knows about this matter, Shaolin must not stay out of it!
Once something happens to the crown prince, the government and the country will be in turmoil.
There is no guarantee that the Black Fox King will take advantage of the chaos to stir up bloody storm and bring disaster to the world!
"So it's to protect the prince..."
Lin Xuan pondered in his heart. He remembered that there was such an episode in the original novel.
What he remembered most clearly was that at that time, in order to avoid the conspiracy of the Black Fox King, the prince deliberately disguised himself as a woman and infiltrated the team.
Because of her outstanding beauty, Tang Xiaolong fell in love with her for a while.
Unexpectedly, a huge mistake was made!
Thinking of this, Abbot Sanzang's face darkened, and he immediately gave Captain Cao a reply:
"This is a matter of national importance. The Black Fox King has evil ambitions and wants to stir up civil strife. How can I just sit there and do nothing?"
"Leave it to Shaolin to escort the prince and his entourage!"
Captain Cao was convinced and said:
"It is a blessing for the people that Abbot Sanzang cares so much about the world!"
"I will rush to Kaifeng Prefecture immediately and report this matter to the prefect."
"Besides, before leaving, the prefect also sent someone to Shaolin Temple to ask the respectful abbot of your temple, Damo Yuan, to come down the mountain."
Abbot Sanzang nodded:
"After escaping the seal, the Black Fox King has been dormant for many times, and his strength must have recovered. This time, if senior brother also goes down the mountain to escort the prince back to the capital, it would be a safe bet." Lin Xuan agreed with his master's words.
The last time he fought against the Black Fox King was when the offspring of the Qiantang Dragon King was taken away.
At that time, if it weren't for He Long's help, he and his companions might not have been able to escape.
Now that he has realized the second form of the soul, Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Xiaolan have become more adept at controlling the form of the soul.
Together with his master and uncle, Lin Xuan was somewhat curious whether he could have a formal competition with the Black Fox King!
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan suddenly had an urge to try it out.
Captain Cao came quickly and left quickly.
After receiving a clear reply from Abbot Sanzang, he just drank a sip of tea and rushed to Kaifeng Prefecture overnight.
During this period, he made an agreement with Abbot Sanzang that after returning, he would bring the exact route for the prince to return to the capital.
At the same time, he also hoped that Abbot Sanzang and others would set off as soon as possible and return to Kaifeng.
Watching Captain Cao disappear into the night, Abbot Sanzang sighed softly:
"I originally wanted to stay in the White Horse Temple for one more day, but it seems that's not going to work..."
"Disciple, go back and tell Xiaolong and the others to pack up the luggage tonight. We will set off tomorrow morning after breakfast at the White Horse Temple."
"Disciple understands!"
He paused and then warned:
"The fewer people who know about escorting the prince, the better. There is no need to mention this to them."
Lin Xuan understood his master's intention.
After returning to the house, he didn't talk much with Xiaolong and the other two. He just asked them to pack up their things because he had something to do the next morning and had to rush back to Kaifeng.
……
It was dawn the next day.
Lin Xuan and others, along with Abbot Sanzang, had a simple breakfast at the White Horse Temple, then boarded a horse-drawn carriage and headed for Kaifeng.
When he was about to leave, Abbot Mingtong, Qingwu and others came to see him off.
For some reason, Abbot Mingtong seemed to understand something and knew that Abbot Sanzang was about to leave, so he did not try to keep him. Instead, he gave everyone some flower seeds and buds.
Abbot Sanzang took it with a smile. It was not a valuable item, but it represented the intentions of Abbot Mingtong.
In addition, there are indeed many peonies in Luoyang City that are blooming extremely beautifully, in a variety of colors and full of fragrance.
It is also quite nice to use it to embellish Shaolin.
"Abbot Mingtong, I will take my leave now. If you are free someday, you can come to Shaolin to have a look."
Sitting in the carriage, Abbot Sanzang and Abbot Mingtong waved goodbye.
"I know how to do it."
Abbot Mingtong nodded slightly, accepting the invitation from Abbot Sanzang.
He watched Abbot Sanzang's carriage gradually drive away and disappear into the street before he withdrew his gaze.
Immediately, he said to Qing Wu who was standing beside him:
"Disciple, follow me to Shaolin at the end of the year."
……
……
After a night of travel, Captain Cao rushed back to Kaifeng Prefecture early the next morning.
Even though he hadn't rested for a day and a night, he only felt a little tired, not mentally exhausted.
After all, he is a master in the Yuqi realm.
"Captain Cao, how is it?"
Upon learning that Captain Cao had returned home, Prefect Tang put down his official duties and came over to ask.
"Mr. Prefect, I have accomplished your mission."
"Abbot Sanzang is willing to help!"
Captain Cao laughed.
Tang Fuyin breathed a sigh of relief and looked happy:
"That's good. I will contact Commander Wang right away. Captain Cao, please take a good rest first."
Yesterday he sent his followers to Shaolin, found the head monk of Damo Temple, Gongjin, explained the pros and cons to him, and invited him to come down the mountain.
The respectful answer was exactly the same as Abbot Sanzang's, expressing his willingness to help.
With the help of these two masters in the realm of spirit refining, Tang Fuyin believed that the prince could most likely be escorted back to the capital safely.
……
After Tang Fuyin left, he sent someone to the palace to invite Commander Wang to come to Kaifeng Prefecture.
In less than half an hour, Commander Wang arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture.
lobby.
Before Wang Daosen entered the house, Tang Fuyin dismissed his attendants and looked at Wang Daosen who entered the house. Without any nonsense, he discussed with him directly:
"Commander Wang, I have already taken care of the matter. Abbot Sanzang and Master Gongjin are willing to escort the Crown Prince back to the capital. I wonder what your plan is and when you plan to leave?"
Hearing this, Wang Daosen's face lit up:
"So good!"
Immediately, he said:
"The Crown Prince is currently in Xuyi County. I suggest that Master Gongjin and I rush over first to protect the Crown Prince. As for Abbot Sanzang, I will send someone to give him a route map."
Tang Fuyin waved his hand and said:
"Commander Wang, there is no need to send anyone. I have a candidate here."
"Oh, you mean Captain Cao?"
Wang Daosen was stunned, and a figure immediately appeared in his mind.
There are not many masters in the Yuqi realm in Kaifeng Prefecture.
You can count them on one hand!
He also knew that Captain Cao had recently reached the Yu Qi realm.
But as far as Wang Daosen knew, Captain Cao was the right-hand man of Governor Tang!
Ordinary people can ask Tang Fuyin to borrow this person, but they cannot.
In his mind, he smiled:
"Is Tang Fuyin really willing to do this?"
"For the sake of the country, why would this government care about these things?"
Tang Fuyin is selfless and impartial.
